It’s my theory that as computers/CAD and factory robots etc. got better, suddently things that were very difficult and hence expensive became possible and cheap, and designers have kinda lost their shit a bit and thrown the entire toybox at it because no-one’s told them they can’t anymore.
The problem is that today’s cars are completely different shaped than yesterday’s. There are new crumble zones, more safety tests, more safety equipment etc, in today’s cars. (This is why when GM tried to make a modern 67 Camaro it ends up looking like a cheap hot-wheels knockoff of a Camaro.)
If modern cars molest people, these should join the sexual offender registry.
I’m not sure why auto designers don’t get it right. What are they drinking that makes them want to crunch and seam every surface. They are so gaudy.
No idea what he’s talking about, so much understated design on sale today... ;)
Was there ever a point in time where Volvo didn’t have some of the more nicely designed cars on the road? Even the 80s - 90s era boxes looked good in their own rectilinear way.
Volvo has been knocking it out of the park for a while now. The newest V60/V90 are some of the best looking wagons ever made, the XC90 is stunning and was ahead of its time when the current one debuted, and the Polestar 1 is gorgeous as well. Their interior game is also excellent.
The weird Nissan-but-not-a-Nissan-DeltaWing. Sure, it was a cool idea, but it never ended up being competitive against more traditional stuff and didn’t live up to the hype about it and its crazy design.
genres have become quite specific these days.
He exists, and his name is Roy Nissany. And Haas can’t have him, Williams already claimed him. Although even Williams aren’t in such a desperate situation as to actually let him in a race (he’s a “test driver” who’s been given half a dozen trips out in free practice over the last three years). [for comparison: Mazepin…
Most “pay” drivers have this arrangement set up. I bring you X dollars from a sponsor, under the assumption that you pay me .1X or something like that.
To heck with the nay-sayers.
So, Haas structured their deal with Uralkali so that little Nikita could claim to earn a salary, a dude that never had to move a finger to earn a living... How quaint...
They’re just lucky that the FIA doesn’t award negative points.
His team should countersue for lost points.
“You also need to understand that we had two independent contracts. And breaking the agreement with the title sponsor [Uralkali] did not have a direct impact on my future in the team.
Which court?
Screw that—I’m going to release a service that takes the 11-hour movie and plays it back at one frame per second for 11 consecutive days.
What? Unflattering? Dugongs are cute.
